Rockefeller is oppsed to an income tax. Naturally, he dislikes parting with $100,000 or $20,000 a year, whlich it is estima'ted, wxjald be 2 per cent of 1Äs , araiua'l income, of from $13,000,000 to $20,000,000. He rs quoted as saying: "When a man has accumuated a sum of money within th-e law; that is to say, in a legally honest way, the people no longer have any right to share in the earnings resuWng from dhat accumulation. The man has respected the law in atoiimilat?ng the money."

The Jong liät o'f sidewalks to be built by the city this summer, ;s published in The Tribune two 1 weeks ago, will go to this contractor, and will be built in the latter part of the summer. A resolution, declaring the list of -sidewalks needed, should je buiJt by the city was passed by the council.
